    Of all the silly trends this one sounds very benign. They aren’t hurting anyone. No one is bullied. They don’t sound particularly loud or distracting to others not interested.

    Coin boys, keep doing your thing. Even if I’m not into it, be the most awesome Coin boy you can today.

      Its the teachers bitch corner. Of course they’re going to complain about kids finding something to keep occupied with.

      Instead of, yknow, not being able to keep kids from bullying others into suicide. That’s not worth having a grumble over, after all. They’re not paid to care that much.

        Some people just need to vent to coworkers about mild shit. They do care about bullying, at least some, but they can still vent. If they aren’t taking it out on the students, not punishing them or complaining to parents, it’s perfectly fine to vent to coworkers.

        I do IT work and I vent about customers, but I still love helping people, and I don’t let anything I find weird or annoying about them affect my level of service. Just yesterday I was chatting with my coworker about people asking us to shortcut minor issues (reducing a two click process to one click). It seems minor to us, and seems like a waste of time, but if they do that process 600 times a day that’s 600 clicks instead of 1200. So we grumble to ourselves but we still do it.
